You're finally a Lifehacker commenter. Congrats! But now you want a snazzy avatar to show up next to the nuggets of wisdom you post in our conversation threads. It's easy - here's how.

First, log into Lifehacker. (Do so by leaving the comment textarea empty, and entering your username and password and hitting "Submit Comment." Yeah, I know that makes no sense. I only work here.) Then, click on the "Edit My User Profile" link. There under the "Upload an Avatar" section, browse to an image on your computer and click the "Upload File" button. We recommend using a 160 by 160 pixel image (nothing larger than 250kb) for best results.

Finally, show off your pixelly goodness by leaving a comment with your new avatar. Questions? Ask away in the comments. — Gina Trapani
